When Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey teamed up with the Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails (LUPEC), it was a match made in heaven. Stranahan's, a local micro distillery that bottles their unique whiskey by hand in small batches, invited the group of gals to be a part of packaging batch #46, which turned out over 3,000 bottles. Everything from the handwritten labels, to the corking, to the perfect placing of the signature silver cap is done with care by volunteers whenever a batch is ready to debut.
